📌 About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Engineer to own and evolve Scribe's billing platform, the system at the center of how Scribe makes money across 5M+ users and 600K+ organizations. You'll design and operate the infrastructure behind subscriptions, enterprise invoicing, pricing changes, and the subscription lifecycle, with real architectural headroom and a clear path toward entitlements and monetization systems as the role expands.

🛠️ What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve Scribe's billing and subscription systems

  • Design resilient, event-driven systems that stay correct under retries, partial outages, and race conditions

  • Build and maintain reconciliation processes that Finance and leadership rely on

  • Improve subscription lifecycle reliability, including renewals, plan changes, invoicing, and payment recovery

  • Enable safe pricing and packaging changes without compromising financial integrity

  • Shape the long-term architecture of the revenue platform as complexity scales

  • Improve system boundaries between billing, entitlements, and reporting to reduce coupling

🔍 What We're Looking For

  • You have 6+ years of software engineering experience

  • You've built or maintained billing, payments, or other high-integrity financial systems in production

  • You think in terms of guarantees: consistency, idempotency, reconciliation, durability

  • You're comfortable scoping ambiguous problems and driving them end to end

  • You're a strong backend engineer, ideally in Python and Django

  • You make sound architectural tradeoffs and are comfortable owning long-term system evolution

✨ Nice to have

  • Experience supporting pricing or packaging changes in production systems

  • Familiarity with enterprise invoicing workflows and sales-assisted purchasing

  • Experience with SaaS tax compliance tools such as Anrok or Avalara

  • Experience partnering closely with Finance or Revenue Operations on reconciliation and reporting

  • Experience working on entitlements or access control systems

📍 Location

Hybrid. Based in San Francisco. We work from the office 3 days per week.

💰 Compensation

Salary varies by location. All full-time employees receive equity in Scribe. Final offers depend on experience and scope.

🎁 Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents

  • Flexible paid time off and company holidays

  • 401(k)

  • Paid parental leave

  • Daily catered lunch (SF office)

  • Commuter benefits

  • Home office stipend

At Scribe, we celebrate our differences and are committed to creating a workplace where all employees feel supported and empowered to do their best work. Scribe is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
